Cask. Moderate to heavy roasted grain for the malt, light herbs for the hops, faint soap for the yeast, with notes of honey, red wine, toffee and a hint of anise. Head is small, bubbly, white with no lacing and is fully diminishing. Color is clear red/brown. Flavor starts lightly to moderately sweet and finishes lightly sweet, acidic and bitter. Palate is medium, watery with a flat carbonation and dry in the finish. Pretty complex in aroma, a little weak in flavor, I imagine the abv is around 6%, this beer is an easy drinker. My classification of style as an English Strong Ale is my best guess.
